review by Lynn Bodin
Another company has released 15mm figures for the Boxer Rebellion. Lancashire Games (8 Ducie St., Bardsley, Oldham, OL8 2RD, England) has currently 31 figures available; Americans, Japanese, and Boxers/Chinese. More figures representing the other Allied powers are projected. Sculpting and detail are adequate, though not up to current "industry" standards. Still, the added variety of dress and weapons will certainly add to the "mob" appearance of any wargamer's Chinese or Boxer armies. The Chinese Mounted General and the Boxer kneeling firing are quite nice figures. Prices are 9p (about 15 cents) per foot figure and 36p for mounted figures. Postage charges are 12.5% for surface and 25% for Air Mail. More Reviews
